# Text Content

Text content including headings, lists, plain text and quotes are rendered using [standard markdown](https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/).

?> Additional text effects including positioning, sizing, and styling can be achieved using [Grid Layouts](/grid-layouts/), [Grid Fit](/grid-layouts/fit-text.md) and [custom style rules](/theme/custom-css.md) respectively.

### Headings

```

### Text Emphasis

Use a single asterisks for *text italics*.
And double asterisks for **text emphasis**.

[drag=100 10, drop=bottom, fit=0.8]

Note, the auto-coloring of text italics and emphasis is a theme option.
```
